Women in a Foreign Land
在“她”乡
Some documentaries speak of women in order to speak of suffering; others speak of women in order to show how they become themselves again. In Her Own Land belongs to the latter. It does not simplify women’s experience into a single label, nor does it write “her” life as a fixed answer. It gives the camera to women of different ages, profe.
In Her Own Land ultimately allows us to see that women’s growth does not necessarily unfold in a straight line. Some set out when young, while others begin again after middle age; some break through in their professions, while others write within daily life; some travel outward, while others search inward. Along differ.






《在“她”乡》:她走出去,也走回自己
有些纪录片讲女性,是为了讲苦难;有些纪录片讲女性,是为了讲她们如何重新成为自己。《在“她”乡》属于后者。它没有把女性经验简化成单一的标签,也没有把“她”的人生写成固定的答案。它把镜头交给不同年龄、不同职业、不同处境中的女性,让观众看见:所谓“她乡”,不只是一个地理上的远方,也是一片由女性自己开出来的人生疆域。这部纪录片最动人的地方,是它没有把女性拍成等待被理。
